The layout of the cabin is very nice and for the most part was very clean. The only downside we had was the volume of steps leading down to the lake; definitely not for the weak at heart. Would stay here again.

The cabin was exactly as pictured. Clean, ready to go. As a heads up, you do share the stairs down to the docks with the twin cabin that is next to you. Not a big deal for us at all. We were able to pull our boat up to the dock (launch is on Gunlock lake and you have a little, shallow, channel you'll need to go through to get to Shishebogama), which was super nice..

4 day stay at cottage

Kitchen with island and living room are open and spacious and plenty of room for everyone ! Bathtub off of master bedroom was slick and no handle bars to hang on for getting in and out of tub. Outside behind the open pit fireplace is steep down to the lake and has no steps and very slick when it rains or wet ! Enjoyed the stay very much and will come back to this place !!!

Another Fantastic Cross Country Ski Weekend

The house was perfect for two families of four on our annual ski trip. Minocqua Winter Park was an easy 10 minute drive. The house had communal space for everyone and separate spaces for the kids and grownups to have their own time. The sauna was great after long ski days and the foosball table got some use. We would happily stay here again.

Back Bay Cabins

Overall, our weekend up north was wonderful! Our group stayed at Back Bay Cabins for a bachelorette weekend. The only hiccup was that the check in time that I received through Vrbo was one hour before the actual check in, so I had to kill some time when I got to Minocqua. Mike, the owner, was very responsive to
